Nuke weapons nations: Who has the biggest firepower

The bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a turning point in mankind's history, events that marked the beginning of humanity's ability to instantly self-annihilate.

As of today, there are nine countries generally recognised to own nuclear weapons, with Iran actively seeking to join this group.

Let's begin with India.

India is estimated to have 80-100 nuclear warheads. It is also developing a range of delivery vehicles, including land- and sea-based missiles, bombers, and submarines. There are no official estimates of the size of India's stockpile of fissile materials, though it is known that India produces both highly enriched Uranium for its nuclear submarines and plutonium for weapons

United States of America

United States has approximately 5,000 warheads, which includes 1,737 deployed strategic warheads, 500 operational tactical weapons (some 200 deployed in Europe), and 2,700 reserve warheads (active and inactive) in storage.
